AbstractA new mixed finite volume method for elliptic equations with tensor coefficients on rectangular meshes (2 and 3-D) is presented. The implementation of the discretization as a finite volume method for the scalar variable (“pressure”) is derived. The scheme is well suited for heterogeneous and anisotropic media because of the generalized harmonic averaging. It is shown that the method is stable and well posed. First-order error estimates are derived. The theoretical results are confirmed by the presented numerical experiments.

We derive bounds to the absolute value of the error that is made in variational estimates of scattering phase shifts. These bounds, like the variational estimates, are second order in 'small' quantities and are, in this respect, an improvement on similar but first-order error bounds derived previously by Bardsley, Gerjuoy, and Sukumar. The s-wave scattering by a square well potential, in the Born approximation, and by an exponential potential, using a many parameter trial function, are used to illustrate the results.

Rotation Technique

The errors of an inertial navigation system (INS) in response to gyros' errors can be effectively reduced by the rotation technique, which is a commonly used method to improve an INS's accuracy. A gyro's error consists of a deterministic contribution and a stochastic contribution. The compensation effects of gyros' deterministic errors are clear now, but the compensation effects of gyros' stochastic errors are as yet unknown. However, the compensation effects are always needed in a rotational inertial navigation system's (RINS) error analysis and optimization study. In this paper, the compensation effects of gyros' stochastic errors, which are modelled as a Gaussian white (GW) noise plus a first-order Markov process, are analysed and the specific formulae are derived. During the research, the responses of an INS's and a RINS's position error equations to gyros' stochastic errors are first analysed. Then the compensation effects of gyros' stochastic errors brought by the rotation technique are discussed by comparing the error propagation characteristics in an INS and a RINS. In order to verify the theory, a large number of simulations are carried out. The simulation results show a good consistency with the derived formulae, which can indicate the correctness of the theory.

Propagation Properties

Purpose This paper aims to propose a general and rigorous study on the propagation property of invariant errors for the model conversion of state estimation problems with discrete group affine systems. Design/methodology/approach The evolution and operation properties of error propagation model of discrete group affine physical systems are investigated in detail. The general expressions of the propagation properties are proposed together with the rigorous proof and analysis which provide a deeper insight and are beneficial to the control and estimation of discrete group affine systems. Findings The investigation on the state independency and log-linearity of invariant errors for discrete group affine systems are presented in this work, and it is pivotal for the convergence and stability of estimation and control of physical systems in engineering practice. The general expressions of the propagation properties are proposed together with the rigorous proof and analysis. Practical implications An example application to the attitude dynamics of a rigid body together with the attitude estimation problem is used to illustrate the theoretical results. Originality/value The mathematical proof and analysis of the state independency and log-linearity property are the unique and original contributions of this work.
